Tickets available at the link…

The evening will include discussions of the current political and cultural climates, audience questions, and more.

Join us for the main event – or come early for a VIP book signing event on the historic Curran stage with Alec Baldwin.

Political satire as deeper truth: Donald Trump’s presidential memoir, as recorded by two world-renowned Trump scholars, and experts on greatness generally.

Until Donald Trump publishes the ultimate account of his entire four or eight or one-and-a-half years in the White House, the definitive chronicle will be You Can’t Spell America Without Me: The Really Tremendous Inside Story of My Fantastic First Year As President. Trump was elected because he was the most frank presidential candidate in history, a man eager to tell the unvarnished truth about others’ flaws and tout his own amazing excellence. Now he levels his refreshingly compulsive, un-PC candor at his landslide election victory as well as his role as commander-in-chief and leader of the free world.

Alec Baldwin is a multiple Emmy, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award-winning actor, producer, comedian, and philanthropist. He has also been nominated for an Oscar and a Tony Award and the author of the New York Times bestseller A Promise to Ourselves.

Kurt Andersen is an author/novelist and host of the public radio show Studio 360. He is also co-founder of Spy and author of Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History.

The Long Center in partnership with Alamo Drafthouse presents Alec Baldwin & Kurt Andersen in Conversation with Evan Smith on the release of their new book You Can’t Spell America Without Me on Wednesday, November 15th at 7:30 PM in Dell Hall.

This event is going to be big. Huge, you might say.

Channeling the spirit of deeper truth, America’s presidential-impersonator-in-chief, Alec Baldwin (as himself), and America’s foremost Trump scholar, Kurt Andersen, have teamed up to bring you a night of hilarious and thoughtful conversation. You won’t want to miss this intimate, first-hand account of all the magic and “fact-checking” that went into their new book, You Can’t Spell America Without Me—the story of everything that goes on behind the scenes of making America great again. More powerful than an early morning Tweet storm, it may just be “the truest book ever written.” For one night only, Alec and Kurt will take to the Long Center stage to further illuminate its pages of 1000% truth with newly created videos and a very serious, deeply thoughtful live conversation moderated by the Texas Tribune’s own Evan Smith.

VIP Tickets are available for this event and include one Premium Reserved Seat and access to a Pre-Show Book Signing.

Every ticket includes a copy of You Can’t Spell America Without Me.

*Alec Baldwin will not be in character for this event.

About You Can’t Spell America Without Me

“I have the best words, beautiful words, as everybody has been talking and talking about for a long time. Also? The best sentences and, what do you call them, paragraphs. My previous books were great and sold extremely, unbelievably well–even the ones by dishonest, disgusting so-called journalists. But those writers didn’t understand Trump, because quite frankly they were major losers. People say if you want it done right you have to do it yourself, even when ‘it’ is a ‘memoir.’ So every word of this book was written by me, using a special advanced word processing system during the many, many nights I’ve been forced to stay alone in the White House–only me, just me, trust me, nobody helped. And it’s all 100% true, so true–people are already saying it may be the truest book ever published. Enjoy.”

Until Donald Trump publishes the ultimate account of his entire four or eight or one-and-a-half years in the White House, the definitive chronicle will be You Can’t Spell America Without Me: The Really Tremendous Inside Story of My Fantastic First Year As President. Trump was elected because he was the most frank presidential candidate in history, a man eager to tell the unvarnished truth about others’ flaws and tout his own amazing excellence. Now he levels his refreshingly compulsive, un-PC candor at his landslide election victory as well as his role as commander-in-chief and leader of the free world.

There are intimate, powerful, mind-boggling revelations on every page. You are there with him during his private encounters with world leaders, a few of whom he does not insult. You are there at the genius Oval Office strategy sessions with his advisers. You are there in his White House bedroom as he crafts the pre-dawn Twitter pronouncements that rock the world. And, of course, you are there on the golf course as Trump attempts to manage the burdens of his office.

President Trump explains each of the historic decisions that have already made America great again, and how he always triumphs over the fake news media. You’ll learn what he really thinks of his cabinet members and top aides not related to him, of the First Lady and the First Daughter and the additional three or four Trump children. Included at no extra charge is a lavish and exclusive portfolio of spectacular, historic and intimate color photographs of President Trump in private—inside the White House, inside Mar-a-Lago, at Trump Tower, and more.

Special Instructions
Line are passes required and will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 9am on November 7th with the purchase of You Can’t Spell America Without Me.
